By: Florence McNulty "I first tasted this warm ham and cheese sandwich at a luncheon, and it quickly became a favorite in our house,' says Florence McNulty of Montebello, California. 'I keep some in the freezer for fast meals. My bridge club enjoys them with soup and fresh fruit.'

This has been my favorite banana bread recipe for many, many years - since the first time I tried it, I've never used another recipe. But I changed up a couple of the ingredients to make it a little healthier and love the way it tastes!

Freeze your bananas when they're starting to go bad and pull them out for this recipe!

This is the whole veggie drawer in soup form! LOADED with GREAT stuff and some beans and ground turkey for a boost of protein, this soup is fantastic with a slice of crusty bread or whole wheat dinner roll to soak up some of the broth.

Very versatile as well, change out the veggies, and add more flavors to your liking.

Took a yummy chocolate snack cake recipe I used to enjoy making in high school and swapped out a few of the ingredients for healthier alternatives to come up with this better for you version! It makes a hearty, dense chocolate treat that will help satisfy that sweet tooth.

Took a sweet & sour recipe we enjoyed and tried to make it a little quicker to fix and better for you by taking out the frying! It makes plenty of delicious sauce, and you can add more vegetables to it depending on your family's preference!

A basic lasagna recipe I've been using for years. It's a good canvas - stuff it full of more fresh veggies to make it your own (layer in some squash/zucchini, add onion and peppers to the meat while cooking, etc.)

My pizza loving boys really enjoy homemade pizza night. Using my go-to crust we created this "concoction" the other night and thought it was hearty, filling, and tasty! Enjoy a slice with a side salad for a complete meal.

I was playing around with ingredients tonight and came up with this one. I love a good fresh vegetable soup and wanted some extra protein in there without adding meat, so I threw in some beans. I think it has just the right amount of flavor, but is mild enough to allow you to really taste and appreciate all the wonderful fresh vegetables.
